It’s encouraging to see 16 and 88 handle the puck and move it quickly.

Rielly a minus 2 already. Is he playing soft in his own end or what? And is it ever going to change?

Agreed. And with the ascendancy of Benoit and with McCabe and Carlo hitting, the Leafs defence is so strong.

Why doesn?t he start more power plays?  He is so much better than Morgan in so many ways and that?s just after 8 periods this year.  Why hasn?t Berube seen it yet this year?  Why?

That is a very valid point.  In the recent interview with Bourne and Kyper, Steve Valiquette  pointed out the really drastic effect of letting a soft goal in the playoffs.  There were about 14 soft goals or so and only about 3 teams were able to overcome that and win the game.  Moreover the...

How does Rielly get out-skated to the puck?  He was minus 2 tonight.  And anchored a power play that was awful this series.  And didn?t hit all series (naturally).  Man , it is amazing that he gets a relatively free ride by the media for the Leafs defensive woes, IMHO.

Is it actually the case that he is out coaching Montgomery?  How is this possible?

Will Keefe ever put Domi at centre on the PP?  What is the point tracking stats during a game when the coaches don?t use them?    And will Keefe keep playing the 4th line in OT?  If so will this be the last game he will coach for the Leafs?

How can Keefe justify using the same players on the power play?  Tavares is a black hole.

The Leafs should not have Rielly and JT on the 1st PP.  The Bruins force the play to to the left side where JT is stationary.  Why not change something?

So many things have gone wring with the Leafs tonight.  Bad penalties, Reaves and  Holmberg largely  responsible  for the first 2 goals , bad PK and 810 goaltending.  But the Leafs can skate with them.  How about Bertuzzi  and Lilly on the pp instead of Tavares and Rielly ?    They were...

And will Reaves be called in for ?retribution? because of that missed call? And Keefe of course is playing Rielly and Brodie together who looked bad on that last shift. I am not sure if this will end well?

And Brodie is now playing with McCabe.  He is finally changing Rielly and Brodie but it may be too late.

Both Rielly and Brodie are - 3.    Where is the accountability for the veterans?  Why does Keefe insist on playing them together even though it is generally a tire fire?    And what was Tavares thinking during that last backhand pass?

What a team effort! McMann had a career game. Domi was flying. And Brodie had perhaps his best game this year. 15 shots allowed tonight which was phenomenal. Is it coincidental that Reilly wasn?t in the lineup for Brodie?s stellar play? And by having all of the defencemen stress positional...

There is still a chance notwithstanding the mini fiascos that have happened the last period or so. But it is pretty sad that M & M aren?t playing better than their 4th line counterparts.

Totally agree. And yet the announcers never mention it seemingly.  The bad pinches by Reilly,  the idiotic plays that McCabe has made,  the slow reactions by Gio and Holl.  Is there ever accountability by the veteran defencemen? Keefe is quick to criticize Bunting or Lilly but these...

His rendition of ?happy days? was inspiring.  I feel good for Jim R. as well.

Agreed with that.  But another telling point (barely articulated in the broadcast was that Gustafson is on the left boards and barely makes any effort to cover the front of the net. (Reminiscent of Martin Marincin perhaps??)
